Pentecostals have a “spirit” for everything.

Pentecostals have a “spirit” for everything — “spirit of anger”, “spirit of lust”, “spirit of heaviness”, etc. There might as well be a “spirit of soggy socks when it rains”, “spirit of Roblox addiction”, “spirit of male pattern hair loss” (I wouldn’t be surprised if some Pentecostals actually believe that last one).

It’s a very unhinged denomination, very wild, very unruly, and they seem to be the WORST at interpreting scripture correctly. For all that talk about being spirit-filled, they don’t seem to be taught by the Holy Spirit, who brings Christians into a correct understanding of things. (John 14:26, 1 John 2:27, John 16:3). Pentecostals believe in the most unbiblical or extrabiblical things, and their practices are ridiculous as well. Do you think the disciples were conducting 8 hour deliverance sessions with modesty blankets and mayhem? Also, there were plenty of people in the bible who got saved and didn’t speak in tongues, like the Enoch who got baptised in nearby water.

Pentecostalism is rife with lies and deception, and even supernatural manifestations that my discernment tells me are ironically, demonic. It’s also full of spiritual abuse, and they tarnish the image of Jesus and the church, making a mockery of it. There are a lot of ex-pentecostals who were very psychologically harmed by such teachings.

And they claim spirits attach themselves to people when they sense weakness/vulnerability — where in the bible has there ever been a mention of such a thing? If you look at Job, yes he was tormented by the devil, but there were no rookie-intern-demons attached to him. Look at how many of God’s prophets or people had suicidal ideation — Elijah (there was no mention of demons with that one; he just felt alone and discouraged), Jonah (no demons either; he was just defeated and frustrated), Solomon (the wisest man to ever live; there were no demons; he was just existential about the depressing realities of this evil world).
